About Catalina Island (Avalon)

Catalina Island has no docking facilities for large cruise ships, so ships anchor off Avalon, the island's main town, and guests tender in. Tenders land at the ferry and boat terminal on the south side of town, about a five-minute walk from the shops, restaurants and spas. Tendering is frequently canceled when currents and waves make the ride unsafe, so have a backup plan in case the ship cannot put guests ashore.

Renting a golf cart is a popular way to explore, though the roads are narrow and steep, and some have sharp drop-offs. Visitors also tour the Catalina Casino, snorkel or dive in the kelp forests offshore, hike, zipline, or take a Jeep tour into the backcountry to see the island's buffalo herd.
